Don't mess around with the Tokyo City Parks Department. They don't mince their words and they don't fudge it when it comes to calling a spade a spade and a trowel a trowel. If there is any peeing or pooing in the park they'll know about it and they will be all over you like...well, like something unplesant that you would rather not have all over you.
The bushes have eyes.
Later there is a sign which say,
"Parents, please do not let your child pee or poo in the park as dogs play and have their lunch on the grass".

Garamasala Chips

Came across these Garamasala flavoured chips in my local Mini Stop a few days ago. Nice packaging I think. The chips are small, triangular, thin cracker kind of things and have a liberal dusting of garamasala powder on them. I don't think it would be advisable to eat the whole bag (55g) at one sitting, even though at first you may not think the bag contains so many chips.
Life's a bit like that sometimes... don't you think? You think you can handle the spice, and at the time you can, and it all goes down quite nicely, very tasty, but then you can't get the taste out of your mouth, or out of your head for the rest of day. Beware the bright packaging of pop culture!

Last Call for Summer (min min min)

Hot again today, a real August sorching Sunday. In the park we went to in the morning the cicadas were still calling, but not for much longer I think. The end of August is in sight and I always feel that September is autumn, at least the beginning of autumn, not matter how hot it reaches, and it can still reach pretty bloody high.
The last day of August is your last official day to have a crack at Fuji. I didn't go last week; a combination of doubtful weather and doubtful motivation and committment. The weather turned out fine and now I regret not going. But I have another chance next weekend, the last weekend of the official climbing season, although early September can be very good.
Next week is a regualar working week, which I am very happy about, last week I taught no classes and made no money. It may still be summer time, but without money the living can be far from easy. Let's Go!
